May 2023 - Present

“Incidence and Determinants of Dental Restoration Failure at a U.S Dental School”

Columbia University
Advisor: Professor Van-Anh Truong

1. Extracted and organized crucial data from a database of dental treatment records through python (including data cleaning and data transformation)

2. Designed specific algorithms of matching treatment records, compared the survival curves of two or more groups, calculated the test statistics by log rank test and determined whether a variable is statistically significant to the failure of dental restoration or not

3. Analyzed 11 variables in total (including discrete and continuous variables) and obtained an important risk classification for patients based on their age

4. Reported results of each step to the professors from Columbia Dental School and Prof. Truong each month

Feb 2020 - Dec 2020

“Modelling and Control of Air Supply System of a PEM Fuel Cell”

Tongji University
Advisor: Professor Huicui Chen

1. Constructed the Equivalent Circuit Model and the Air Supply System Model of PEMFC by using MATLAB, optimize them to make models reflect more realistic working situation and analyzed the effect of air excess coefficient on out voltage, output total power and output net power

2. Proposed a method of calculating the air excess coefficient of Air Supply Part in the case where output net power of PEMFC reaches the highest

3. Designed a PID control strategy and a Fuzzy-PID control strategy in order to optimize the dynamic response of supplying air and reduced the response time at 4 times by using the Fuzzy-PID control strategy rather than the PID control strategy

Dec 2018 - Jun 2019
